Yes, waiting for the day it actually hits the commercial market. And thanks for the history. I knew of folks working on this for several or even 10 years, but not the Australian crew of 18 years.

Pacific Solar pioneered this application 18 years ago in Sydney, Australia. Their idea involved multiple layers of solar cells stacked like a pancake, and thus had a variable level of light transmission/ absorption. Sorry, this is nothing new…. but after 18 years it would be nice to see this in application.

Read the story before making a head line the cost isn’t “10% Increase In Total Building Cost” its “10% of the cost of the facade.”
With that head line almost didn’t read the story.
